f.t.:
You are correct, the data tables will give the production and not the shipping year. I was going on the assumption that a popular model like the K-22 would have shipped soon after production, more so than lower production or less popular guns, but that never holds 100% with S & W as you know.
I recently saw a 17-1 for sale with a 1967 era serial number...that frame must have sat for at least 6 years before being finished.
